The current behavior looks fine to me.

If one opens a specific subdataset then only one "HDF5 dataset object"
can be accessed and it is mapped on GDAL raster bans n. 1.
All other "HDF5 dataset object" in the h5 file are ignored by the
HDF5ImageDataset so there is no reason IMHO to make their metadata
available in some manner.

Metadata associated to all HDF5 groups (including the root one) are
available in any case and accessible via GDAL dataset metadata.

my two cents
